Troubleshooting

Why can't I delete the contract?

Deleting a contract requires the right permissions. If the option isn't visible, your user role may be limited:

  • View + Add: Read-only access and can upload files
  • Editor: Can manage company data (except user management)
  • Admin: Full access, including user management

If you need additional permissions, contact your Pivott account manager, email help@pivott.io, or message us through the Pivott app chat — we're happy to help!
